Suspect arrested in woods after a loud fart revealed his hiding spot

This is one of the weirdest way to get arrested. A suspect who hid in the bush gave up his cover and was busted by cops, after he let out a loud fart.

Sometimes the forces of nature can work against us, like that awkward fart in the middle of a meeting, or a date.

Well for one felon in Missouri it happened at the absolute worst possible time. When he was hiding from the cops.

According to a Facebook post by the Clay County Sherrif’s Department, they were in search of a suspect who was wanted for “possession of a controlled substance”, when his loud fart let out his hiding spot.

The Facebook post read: It wrote: “If you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a s***.”

In a followup comment, the department offered another tidbit, along with another pun-packed jab at the suspect:

“The person was arrested over the weekend on a Clay County warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance.

We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!”

The post was met with a hilarious response by the Liberty Police department on Twitter.

It tweeted it was “surprised” to see the incident “slip out”, which “stinks for the arrestee”.

It also praised the department for “airing out a wanted person’s dirty laundry and fanning the flames”.
